Exporting Incidents to the State

Exporting Incidents to the State




EPR FireWorks Incident reporting module is a place where you can document your NFIRS 5.0 specific reports. In this section, you will learn how to customize your NFIRS 5.0 reports to be department specific and meet your needs from a documentation point of view. As an example, you can do the following within your EPR FireWorks System:
  1. Customize NFIRS Lists
  2. Set field requirements and system rules
  3. Manage your mutual/automatic aid agencies and apparatuses
  4. Create plus one codes per incident type
  5. Custom fields and special studies
  6. Add custom links to your response module      

For each and every incident that you encounter, we have a way to track and document all of the NFIRS requirements to ensure a complete and compliant report with no errors when reporting to the state or federal system. As you and your staff begin filling out reports, sometimes you may find yourself wondering what is the right answer to a complicated NFIRS field. Here is a few help tools that can make the reporting process as simple as possible:
  1. NFIRS 5.0 Complete Reference Guide
  2. NFIRS "Coding" Help
  3. State Program Managers
Note: Before your department begins uses your EPR FireWorks system for NFIRS Incident Reporting, ensure with your Project Manager has received your NFIRS migration files, personnel files, and apparatus specifications. If using a CAD or Active 911 integration, ensure that you have discussed the integration process with your Project Manger and provided them with any necessary documentation and contact information.
